Amazing getaway

We had a great stay while in Juan Dolio. The apartment was very clean and surprisingly SUPER close to the beach. The accommodations were amazing! The owner provided tasty snacks with wine and fresh bottled water. The beds were so comfortable, and the patio dinning was so so beautiful! I cannot wait to come back and enjoy this amazing space that brought me so much tranquility and peace.

Perfect Gem

The property is beautiful, clean & modern. The beach was better than expected with a vast soft-sand area protected by a reef - kids loved it & were very safe swimming all over the place. On-site property manager does his best to make sure you are comfortable. Surprised by the quality of the food in restaurants we could easily walk to. Highly recommend for a family!

Simply Amazing

The property is situated in a quite community on a lovely sandy beach. The view that I woke up to was amazing overlooking the pool and the beautiful ocean. The house was well kept and the view from the kitchen over the balcony onto the ocean is breathtaking. The owner and the on premise caretakers were always assuring that any concerns or needs that we had were taken care of immediately. I will be definitely be coming back. Thanks again for your hospitality

Quiet beuty

This is our second time renting this apartment. It is a well run and well equipped place with attention to every detail. They left us water, coffee, salt, beach towels, sun screens, snorkeling equipment, beach toys, umbrellas…….. too many to mention all. Additionally, any questions or needs we had were handled by the manager (Jose Luis) the cleaning lady(mari) and the security staff( Francisco…). Overall a great experience.

Gorgeous apartment overlooking pool and beach

My family of 5 (wife and 3 kids ranging from 1-13 years old) had such an amazing six day stay in Delias apartment. The apartment was much larger and more elegant than we expected with a huge wrap around balcony overlooking pool and the endless Caribbean Sea where we are all our meals to the sounds of the breeze and the waves. The apartment was well stocked with many details from pool and beach toys for the kids to a washer-dryer (very handy) and everything you need in the kitchen. The bedrooms were ample but the highlight truly was that balcony overlooking our own quiet slice of beach aka heaven. Will be back!

A little bit of paradise

The property is well represented in the listing. A couple little issues but the property owners were very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of. The view is incredible! Nice neighborhood with good restaurants I would not hesitate to stay again! My only recommendation is to have a book with wifi information, local restaurants, and things to know about the property.
